“Finally, there are the mental and physical health issues of personnel staying there for a long period of time.
Living in a closed environment for a long time is a great test for astronauts' psychological quality and physical health.
We are working with psychology and medical experts to design a series of psychological support systems and health monitoring equipment to ensure that each astronaut can maintain good condition and complete the mission efficiently."
Having said this, Zhou Xiangming paused, and his eyes revealed a deep determination: "But all these challenges cannot stop us from moving forward.
Because we are not just building a space station, we are opening up new frontiers for the future of mankind and looking for a second home for earth civilization."
The meeting room fell into deep thought, and everyone was picturing the magnificent picture in their minds - a radiant space station in the lunar orbit, connecting the earth and the moon, becoming a bridgehead for human exploration of the universe.
Wu Hao laughed and broke the silence of everyone. His voice was firm and powerful: "Very good. It seems that you have worked hard in this area and your attitude deserves recognition.
I believe that as long as we all work together, this magnificent 'Sky Harbor' will be built and become a new starting point for mankind to explore the universe."
After giving a compliment, Wu Hao then looked at Zhou Xiangming and said, "Continue, how is the construction progress of other supporting facilities projects?"
After hearing Wu Hao's news, Zhou Xiangming immediately put away his overflowing smile, and then continued: "In addition to the main building facilities of our Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Exploration Station, we are also on the west side of the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Exploration Station, about
An emergency backup shelter was built one kilometer away. This emergency backup shelter can be regarded as a small Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station, but it is only used for emergency evacuation.
It only has basic life support capabilities for researchers and astronauts at the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station to take refuge in emergencies.
This is the double backup principle we adhere to. Even if there is a problem with the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station, we can activate this emergency shelter in time to temporarily house these astronauts and scientific researchers.
Of course, if necessary later, we can also expand this shelter into a westward forward base for scientists and astronauts to explore the Reese Mountains on the west side."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiangming took a breath and said: "Currently, the construction of this emergency shelter has begun. However, compared with the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station, it is smaller in scale and is used for temporary emergency use, so its structure
It’s relatively simple.”
As he spoke, Zhou Xiangming slid the transparent folding device in his hand, then displayed a new schematic diagram on the big screen and said: "This is the structural schematic diagram of the entire emergency shelter.
Compared with the complex structure of our Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station, its overall structure is actually very simple. We can even regard it as a space station, except that we have attached a special layer of lunar soil to the outside of it.
That’s all.”
As he said that, Zhou Xiangming glanced at Wu Hao and the others, and then continued to explain: "Why is it considered a space station? This is because its interior is actually composed of one cabin section, and it is also inflated.
cabin.”
When Wu Hao heard this, he looked to Yu Chengwu aside and said, "Is this the technology we used on the 'Oasis' experimental inflatable expansion experimental cabin?"
Yu Chengwu smiled, nodded, and replied: "Yes, Mr. Wu, this is indeed the technology we used on the experimental inflatable expansion test chamber of the Oasis.
That technology has been tested and optimized many times and has proven its reliability and practicality in the space environment.
It was originally intended to be applied to our space station, but later because the space station project was replaced by the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station, this technology was temporarily mothballed.
This time we applied it to the construction of the lunar emergency shelter, which is also based on full trust in technology and consideration of future exploration needs."
Zhou Xiangming took over and continued: "Yes, the inflatable expansion module is not only light and easy to transport, but also can be quickly deployed in a short time, which is very suitable for scenarios like the moon with complex environments and limited resources.
We chose this cabin structure precisely because of its flexibility and efficiency."
Speaking of this, he paused, then looked at everyone and said: "What's more important is that it is cheap. Not only is it cheap, but also because it can be folded and shrunk, it takes up less space and is lighter in weight, so
Transportation costs are also relatively low.
In this way, we can build such an emergency shelter on the moon that can serve as a temporary residence for astronauts and scientific researchers at a very low cost."
"Moreover, by attaching a special layer of lunar soil to the outside of the cabin, we can also effectively utilize the local resources of the moon and enhance the protective capabilities of the shelter, making it better able to withstand the extreme temperatures and cosmic radiation on the lunar surface."
He slid the device in his hand and motioned for everyone to look at the detailed pictures on the screen: "Look, although these inflatable expansion cabins have a simple structure, their functions are very complete.
They are equipped with life support systems, emergency communication equipment, and basic medical rescue facilities to ensure that in emergencies, astronauts and scientific researchers can receive timely assistance and protection.
At the same time, we have also designed multiple safety redundancy systems to ensure that even if a certain section fails, it will not affect the normal operation of the entire shelter."
After hearing Zhou Xiangming's introduction, Su Ho, who was sitting behind Wu Hao, couldn't help but ask: "Since this technology is so good, why is the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station under construction? This will not only save time and effort, but also save money."
Cost?”
After Zhou Xiangming heard this, he turned to Su Ho with a smile. That smile contained patience and respect for professional issues.
"Secretary Su, this is a good question.
Indeed, the inflatable expansion module has shown its unique advantages in many aspects, but why was it not used in the construction of the Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station? This is mainly due to several considerations."
He gently slid the transparent folding device in his hand, and a design drawing of the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station popped up on the big screen, which was in sharp contrast to the simple structure of the emergency shelter.
“First of all, as our long-term base for lunar exploration, the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station needs higher stability and durability.
Although the inflatable expansion module is light and flexible, its maintenance costs and potential risks will be relatively high when it faces extreme lunar environments for a long time, such as severe temperature changes, micrometeorite impacts, etc."
